ENLIGHTENED 2011-2013

The demise of HBO’s hilarious and mesmerizing Laura Dern vehicle “Enlightened” likely comes as no surprise to its fans.

The Sunday-night series barely a blip in the ratings and the second-season finale made for an exceptionally satisfying series finale as well.

“Enlightened” mastermind White started out writing for “Girls” producer Judd Apatow on “Freaks and Geeks,” then moved on to scripting movies like “The Good Girl,” “Orange County,” “Chuck & Buck,” “Nacho Libre” and “The School of Rock.” Hopefully HBO will put him back to work on something just as good, but more popular.
